A customer is facing an issue where two different automation anywhere bots assigned to the same device pool are not running simultaneously. When one bot is in execution, the other bot in the same device pool remains in queue until the first bot finishes, instead of running in parallel as expected.

​@Hiren182000 Having the second bot wait for the first is the expected result. Having two automations executing on the same bot runner could cause some nasty issues where competing bots could fight over a resource.

If these are bots that can safely be run in parallel on a bot runner, maybe they could be replaced with an API Task (Cloud Services Task) instead, especially if they’re not doing any UI manipulation.

Hi ​@Hiren182000,

 

Are they using the same Runner machine within the device pool too? If so, this behavior is expected. But if they are allocated with different runner machines, then they should execute in parallel.
